SpaceX is drawing a lot of attention for a test flight this month of its "return to the launch pad" rocket known as the Grasshopper. Check out the 1:37 video below being shared by space enthusiasts around the world and viewed nearly 2 million times already.

Grasshopper is a 10-story tall Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing vehicle. SpaceX wants to build reusable rocket boosters, and a booster that can return to the launch pad and touch down would certainly qualify. In this Oct. 7 test, captured by a camera about a hexacopter drone, the Grasshopper climbs 744 meters above the surface and then - well, watch and see for yourself.
